waved his associates to their seats even
more stately than his won't, his nod to
the sheriff was more stiff, and his aouen
court less audible than on the RE-
vl0us days OF the term Justice Magruder
Appeared flushed and nervous as he entered
70 oae courtroom, the cause OF which was
Evidenced afew moments later when Justice
Sheldon turned to him and, in voice
which would have been inaudible save for
the deathly stiffness which pervaded the
room, said: @Justicc Magrtder, have you any
announcements to makefs The flushed APP
pearance of the Justice changed to that of
pallor, and his voice was husky as he re-
Eponded:

below is affirmed as TO all the plaintiffs in err

ment- The opinion is now handed 10 the clerk

Justice Magruder then read the decision
Of the court in the Anarchists case. His
voice was clear and distinct until the order
liking the death penalty and date OF exc
cntion was reached, when his reading be-
came labored, his voice husky and his man
= ner showed it was with The greatest emo
ton that he performed the duty he had
been delegated by his associates to perform.
Having voiced the decision of the court in
the most celebrated case it has ever boon
called upon to decide, the justice who made
the announcement at once left the bench
and retired TO his room
